Why use git-ftp?

If you use git and you need to upload your changes to an ftp server, git-ftp saves you the troubles of identifying which files you changed and then uploading each individual file. Git-ftp uploads only the files that have changed. Once setup it is simply 1 line to deploy your changes.
